This board includes the Color CCD line sensor (independent R,G,B) and the sensor’s control and driver circuits. This section explains the engine functions and operating principles of the EPSON Perfection 640U. The engine mechanism has the two major parts; the " Inverter Board carriage unit (=scanning head) and the carriage move mechanism.
EPSON Perfection 640U RevIsion A 2.1.2 Carriage Drive Mechanism The carriage unit slides in the sub-scan direction along the guide rail. To slide the carriage, the carriage (CR) motor drives the timing belt attached to the A line-type color CCD sensor, which is included in the carriage unit, scans one carriage unit by conveying torque via the drive pulley and transmission gear.
EPSON Perfection 640U RevIsion A 2.2 Control Circuit The CPU (IC12) of this scanner is a one-tip 16-bit bus CPU operating at 16MHz. ASIC (IC9) manages input signal correction, image processing, and controlling the CCD sensor board and USB interface. The power supply control uses a DC/DC converter to generate 5 V and 12 V signals from the 24 V DC input.
